Hi friends, I also skipped report 6, so here is the past two weeks compiled in one report.
- integrated a new panel into the gnome-control-center ; it's just called Locations for now, has a homegrown UI not discussed with the designers yet, and it not even sure to stay in there, but this way I can write the glue code between the control-center and gnome-shell ; - it works! The locations defined in the control-center are now displayed in the Shell's calendar popup (loosy UI that I won't even screenshot), although the locations in the control-center are not added in a very sexy way (manual typing of country, city, timezone) because: - toyed with geocode-glib, which is a nice GObject-friendly wrapper around Yahoo!'s PlaceFinder API. It works like a charm, except that it looks like PlaceFinder can't return more than one result at once, which makes it useless for places suggestions when you look for one ; - learnt how to use GSettings, GVariant and glib-compile-schemas, neat stuff. What's next, dare you ask. - some designers told me on IRC that a "Locations" panel might not be appropriate, and that it would be better to offer a distinct application instead. Don't know how this will turn out, but I'm already working on the logic code in my control-center version, so a sep[ea]rate app *shouldn't* be too much work, biggest part being the infrastructure around it (name, icon, git repo, bugzilla, autotools & friends) ; - I would like to use a web service to look up locations, instead of using only LibGWeather (which will be used for fallback anyway) ; Oh and I'm 21 today! Save up for a birthday cupcake at the DesktopSummit! Cheers, - Stéphane. _______________________________________________ gnome-shell-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list
